Shipping from Tabuk to Turkey: The Route Your Shipment Takes

Tabuk sits in the far north-west of the Kingdom, and some assume its closeness to Jordan makes road the natural way to Turkey. In practice, furniture and cars go to Turkey by sea: the container is sealed outside your Tabuk home and not opened until the Turkish port, without repeated loading and unloading and without the complications of crossing several countries. Your shipment therefore begins with a truck heading from Tabuk to Jeddah Islamic Port, a distance of about 1,000 km usually covered in one to two days.

The truck takes one of two routes: the coastal road that drops from Tabuk to Duba and follows the Red Sea through Al Wajh, Umluj and Yanbu to Jeddah, useful when items are collected from coastal governorates, or the inland Madinah road. In Jeddah the container is handed to the shipping line and sails north up the Red Sea to the Suez Canal and into the Mediterranean, reaching Mersin in southern Turkey, continuing to Ambarli on the European side of Istanbul, or calling at Izmir on the Aegean.

Why We Do Not Ship Tabuk Cargo from Dammam

King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam is very far from Tabuk, and vessels leaving it must sail around the Arabian Peninsula before entering the Red Sea, so both the road and sea legs would be longer. We therefore use Jeddah Islamic Port for nearly all Tabuk shipments, as it is the nearest port and the one that suits the Turkey lines.

Why Tabuk Customers Trust Us

Tabuk is home to Saudi families who love summer trips to Turkey, some of whom have bought a home there; employees and expatriates of many nationalities who move on after their contracts end; university students; and farmers and traders in a region known for its agriculture. Because Tabuk is far from the ports, what customers here need is a company that handles the long road leg to Jeddah, the sea voyage and the delivery without them chasing every stage.

• End-to-end service from Tabuk: from dismantling and packing in your home to delivery in your Turkish apartment.
• Collection across the governorates: we pick up from Tayma, Duba, Al Wajh, Umluj, Haql and Al Bad’ and load into the same container.
• Shared containers: for a room or a few boxes, so you never pay for a full container.
• Turkish port chosen by address: Mersin for the south, Ambarli for Istanbul and Marmara, Izmir for the west.
• Itemised quote: every line priced, from trucking to delivery in Turkey.
• Optional insurance: insurance can be added for valuable items on request.

Shipping Prices from Tabuk to Turkey

Our starting prices are the same in every Saudi city, so a Tabuk customer pays no more for a container or air freight than a customer in Jeddah itself. What differs is the trucking from Tabuk to the port, a long distance we show clearly in the quote, along with the destination port and delivery point in Turkey. Destination port charges, inland delivery in Turkey and Turkish customs clearance are set out in the itemised quote.

What Raises or Lowers the Price?

• Your location in the Tabuk region: collection in the city centre differs from Haql, Al Bad’ or Tayma.
• Shipment size: a room, a small household or a full container.
• Turkish port: Mersin is nearer on the line, Ambarli and Izmir a little further.
• Extra services: wooden crates, assembly, storage and a furniture lift for upper floors.
• Shipping mode: sea for large volumes, air for urgent items charged on actual or volumetric weight.

Tips to Cut the Cost

If you have only a few items, a shared container is the cheapest way to ship them, and you can ask us for the next container leaving Tabuk so you can join it. If relatives or neighbours in Tabuk are moving to Turkey at the same time, sharing a 20 ft container can save both parties money. Sell heavy old furniture before you travel, since Turkish markets are full of locally made furniture at reasonable prices, and focus on shipping what matters to you or is hard to replace.

Furniture Moving from Tabuk to Turkey

Homes in Al Muruj, Al Faisaliyah, Al Sulaimaniyah, Al Rayyan and Al Masif are mostly family houses with good furniture that deserves careful handling. Because the journey starts with more than a thousand kilometres of road followed by weeks at sea, the quality of packing decides the condition of your furniture on arrival. Our team surveys the house and writes a numbered contents list, then dismantles, wraps and arranges items inside the container to prevent rubbing and shifting.

Bedrooms

We take apart beds, wardrobes and dressers, wrap the panels in padded plastic and then heavy cardboard, and place mirrors in dedicated cardboard frames. Mattresses go into sealed covers so they do not absorb sea humidity.

Kitchens, Including IKEA Kitchens

We dismantle wall and base cabinets and number them in the order of the wall, keeping hinges and handles in bags with each unit. IKEA kitchens are handled with care because their panels are sensitive, so we wrap them in two layers and load them upright. Crockery is wrapped piece by piece in divided boxes.

Appliances and Air Conditioners

Tabuk’s winters are cold and its summers hot, so most homes have split air conditioners, heaters and a range of appliances. A technician removes the air conditioners, pumping down the gas and sealing the pipes, while fridges and washing machines are emptied and dried a day ahead and washer drums are locked.

Antiques and Office Furniture

Heritage pieces, antiques and chandeliers go into made-to-measure wooden crates, and insurance can be added for valuable items on request. For offices and companies we move desks, cabinets and equipment with each department numbered.

The Road Leg: Tabuk to Jeddah Islamic Port

This stage is what sets Tabuk shipments apart. After packing, either the container comes to your door and is sealed in front of you, or the goods travel in a closed truck to our warehouse and are consolidated into a shared container. We coordinate the truck’s departure from Tabuk with the vessel’s sailing from Jeddah so the container does not sit at the port and run up demurrage, and we follow export formalities through the Fasah platform until it is loaded on board.

Sea Freight to Mersin and Istanbul

From Jeddah we offer two kinds of sea freight. Full container load (FCL): a 20 ft from SAR 6,000 for an apartment or medium home, and a 40 ft from SAR 8,200 for a villa or large house. Shared container (LCL): a single room from SAR 3,250 and a small household from SAR 3,700. The voyage takes 15–20 days to Mersin and 18–25 days to Ambarli in Istanbul, and can be routed to Izmir or Iskenderun if your address is near them.

Door Delivery or Port Collection

With door delivery, a local Turkish clearance agent we work with handles the container at the port, then we take your goods to your address and assemble furniture on request. With port collection, the container arrives in Mersin or Ambarli and a Turkish customs broker appointed by the consignee collects it and handles clearance and transport. Door delivery is easier for those who know no one in Turkey; port collection suits those with a partner or relative to follow up there.

Where We Deliver in Turkey

Tabuk people know cold weather and highlands, so many are drawn to Trabzon and the Black Sea in summer, and to Bursa, Sakarya and Sapanca for their greenery. Those moving for work or study usually choose Istanbul or Ankara. We agree the right port for the address with you and arrange a smaller truck for the final stretch in mountain towns where roads are narrow.

Tabuk Families and Their Summer Homes in Turkey

A frequent request from Tabuk is sending furniture, soft furnishings or kitchenware to an apartment or summer home the family owns in Turkey. These loads are usually medium-sized, suited to a shared container or a 20 ft box, and we time delivery for when a family member or their agent is there to receive the keys. We also serve Tabuk students at Turkish universities, sending their bags and books by air or sea, and residents relocating to Turkey with a full household.

Turkish Customs and Exemptions

Shipments are cleared for export in Saudi Arabia through Fasah before sailing, then cleared at the Turkish port by Turkish Customs. The conditions for bringing in used personal effects and furniture are set by Turkish Customs according to the consignee’s situation: a returning Turkish citizen, a foreigner with a residence permit and a non-resident property owner are each treated differently, and some cases may qualify for relief by presenting a residence permit or transfer-of-residence certificate. These rules change, so we advise every customer to confirm with Turkish Customs or the Turkish consulate before shipping, and we prepare declarations in line with the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

Furniture and Personal Effects Documents

• National ID or iqama, and passport.
• Numbered contents list.
• Fasah authorisation.
• Consignee details in Turkey: passport, Turkish tax number and full address.

Commercial Cargo Documents

Commercial registration, invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and any additional certificate the Turkish authorities require for the type of goods.

Commercial Cargo from Tabuk

Tabuk is a farming region known for its produce, with commercial activity growing alongside the large projects in the north-west. We ship part loads from SAR 2,300 per ton in a shared container, or full loads in a 20 ft or 40 ft container. We also import building materials, furniture and textiles from Turkey for Tabuk customers, handling the customs data and tracking the container to the warehouse.

Car Shipping from Tabuk to Turkey

Cars go to Turkey by sea, either on a roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vessel, where the car is driven up the ramp and secured on deck, or in its own enclosed container for owners who want more protection. Sedans start from SAR 5,100, SUVs from SAR 7,500 and a car in its own enclosed container from SAR 12,000. We move the car from Tabuk to Jeddah on a covered car carrier, so it does not cover the long road on its own wheels.

Car Shipping Documents

• Vehicle registration and owner’s ID.
• Export plates or export certificate.
• A bank letter if the car is financed.
• Traffic fines settled before export.

Before You Ship Your Car to Turkey

The rules and fees for bringing cars into Turkey fall under Turkish Customs, and in some cases temporary import may be allowed for certain categories under specific conditions. Confirm your car’s situation with Turkish Customs or the Turkish consulate before shipping, so everything is clear before the car sails.

Air Freight from Tabuk to Istanbul Airport

For documents, parcels, personal electronics and anything that cannot wait, we offer air freight to Istanbul Airport, or to Sabiha Gökçen Airport on the Asian side, Antalya Airport or Ankara Esenboğa Airport. We collect from your home or office in Tabuk, and the shipment departs from Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Airport or via King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah or King Khalid Airport in Riyadh depending on flights, arriving in 2–4 days. Prices start from SAR 14 per kg on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher; volumetric weight = length × width × height ÷ 6000.

Air freight suits a student about to start term, spare parts and official papers from SAR 85, but it does not suit furniture because of volumetric weight.

Sea, Air and Road Compared

For Tabuk customers: do not be misled by the region’s closeness to the northern border. Sea from Jeddah is the practical route for furniture and cars to Turkey, and air is for urgent items.

What Cannot Be Shipped and How to Pack

We do not accept flammables, gas cylinders, loose batteries, medicines without a prescription, or plants and seeds without a permit. We remind Tabuk customers that seedlings, flowers and fresh farm produce cannot be packed with furniture, and seeds need a permit. Drain fuel from equipment, take batteries out of devices and carry medicines with their prescription. Use strong double-wall boxes, fill the gaps and write each box’s contents and room number on its side.

Parcels, Bags and Online Shopping

Parcels up to 5 kg start from SAR 110, with extra weight from SAR 14 per kg. We ship excess luggage, gifts for relatives, clothes and books, and we serve Tabuk online stores selling to customers in Turkey by collecting orders and sending them to buyers’ addresses.

Shipping from Turkey to Tabuk

We work the reverse route too: people returning from Turkey to Tabuk after study or work, buyers of Turkish furniture for a new home, and traders importing textiles and building materials. We collect from any Turkish city, ship to Jeddah and truck the goods to Tabuk, in line with the regulations in force at the time of shipping.

When to Ship?

Spring and autumn are comfortable times. Summer sees pressure from families preparing their holiday homes in Turkey, and winter snow can delay deliveries to Trabzon and mountain areas. If you want your furniture in place before the summer holiday, book well ahead.
